A Manhattan federal jury granted plaintiff Eric Gersbacher the penny after he claimed that NYPD cops roughed him up during his caught-on-video arrest in Zuccotti Park.
Three days after the social movement first formed, Gersbacher was at a protest in lower Manhattan sitting on a tarp and banging a metal pot lid as police tried to get the crowd to disperse.
A group of officers can be seen on video grabbing and tossing Gersbacher to the ground, then rushing him before the video cuts out.
On Monday, a jury awarded the Buffalo man the token cent in his excessive-force case against the city and the cops over the inmcident.
The panel found that NYPD Deputy Inspector Edward Winski used excessive force against Gersbacker — but not that the protester deserved any meaningful money for it.
The Occupy Wall Street thugs were nothing but a violent group of crybaby especially.
Pity the lawyer who expected a big payday but now has to try to find a way to split a penny with the thug.
